Directions
This dish offers a wonderful combination of tastes and flavors: savory and tender crepes and a fresh and fruity filling with some Oriental raisins notes. Pumpkin crepes with cottage cheese and apples is the perfect breakfast for the whole family.
Moreover, such crepes could be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days and it won’t take you more than 5 min to serve them for breakfast. Part of crepes could also be refrigerated to provide you and your family with a quick breakfast anytime.
Highly recommend! Try cooking some and next time prepare a double portion to freeze.
A few tips:
The amount of milk and water depends on how watery is pumpkin puree you use. Add the major part of liquid first, and then adjust the consistency.
You could add more pumpkin puree (though no more than 50 g per one portion according to this recipe) to enhance crepes with more intense taste of pumpkin, and adjust the consistency by adding more or less liquid. But don’t add to much as crepes may break.
Tips for freezing:
- stack crepes between parchment paper so that they won’t freeze to each other;
- make sure to deflate all the air from the bag to save pancakes for longer.
Bon appetite!
